VBS

Last week, our kids attended a VBS at a nearby church. In case you're not familiar with what VBS is, it stands for Vacation Bible School. It is almost like a day camp where your kids go and learn about God and have tons of fun! This was their first time ever going to VBS. Because I homeschool, we spend a lot of time together so, I think it was as good for them as it was for me, to get a little break.

To be honest, I didn't know what I would do with myself alone for three hours! I wanted to make the most of this week. After it was over, I second-guessed whether or not I used my time wisely. My hubby and I snuck in a breakfast date on Friday morning. (one of our favorite dates that don't happen often). We stumbled upon this diner that uses fresh and local ingredients and everything was homemade. Their coffee was even Fair Trade and the prices were very reasonable. It was fun.

Anyway, I digress, Back to VBS...

I know several people from this particular church and knew it would not only be safe but, they would have a great time. Let's just say "A" cried when it was all over. I totally understood the let-down that she felt at the end. We all go through that when there's such a high and then all of a sudden, it's over. I told her I feel that way when Christmas is over.

At the end of the week, they had a Grand Finale in the evening where the parents could come and see the kids perform the songs they had been practicing. It was so cute. I managed to capture some video on my phone.

My kiddos are on the far left corner. "K" has on a blue shirt and "A" is next to him off to the side a little.

About

Back in 2001, I worked for a friend of mine who owned a Natural Food and wellness center. It was there that I developed a passion for health and wellness. My view on what "healthy" is may look different than others and I certainly have not perfected it. I eat more refined sugar than I would like and drink caffeine, but, I'm on a journey and am committed to continue to educate myself about the importance of food choices. I'm convinced that it is not as hard or as expensive as many think. I'm excited about sharing my discoveries and thoughts about this part of my life with you! I'm also a mom to 3 kiddos and a preacher's wife. Thanks for joining me on this journey!
